I have avoided much of the weekend-warrior I-70 mess due to the boyfriend renting an apt. in Silverthorne this winter - THANK GOD. That road is a complete mess on the weekends, save 11am-1pm, if at all.
Two weeks ago some friends and I were discussing this over coctails and one mentioned the "peak-driving-hours-tax". Of course we thought he was insane, but then the NYTimes of all publications notified me that yes, in fact, this is true.
